This is booming around the www, it is written by a young Croat graduate.....
"There is a Balkan country which borders with itself. Where the best-looking women live yet there is a declining birth rate. Where most work is done by unemployed. Where there is most fertile land yet people are hungry. Where trains are late in the timetable. Where all play football and winning in water polo, basketball, handball or volleyball. Where everyone rushes to work but no one arrives on time. Where an eight-hour working time is 12 hours long. Where is the free health care and expensive treatment. Where the journalists are free to write whatever they are ordered. Where the government procurement process is a state secret. Where the wars never end. Where history repeats itself every day. Where the richest people are those who have never worked. Where foreign currency is taken for homework. Where the smart are declared insane the capable declared crazy. Where illiterates write history. Where laws are illegal and support the normal state of anarchy. Where the lives of the future for the present we have no right. Where everyone is all smiles but no one wants good things for anyone else. Where court proceedings last longer than life. Where the only way to irrigate the land is to wait for a flood. Where it is believed that the country will prosper more if it more declines. Where normal is not needed and employers pick suitable candidates rather than those who are capable. The Balkans has a country where honesty, sincerity and diligence will ensure you never reach your desired goals ... "
